HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Laundry Hint.

A housekeeper writes to the Congrega-
tiondliyt TO do your washing by this plan:
"Fill the boiler two-thirds full Of water,
and shave a bar Of soap in it. When the
water boils and the soap is disolyed, add
two tablespoonfuls and half of kerosene
oil 1t will Immediately unite with the
soap, and, if you have been exact with
the amount of each, there will be no oil
on the top of the water. Now put the
cleanest pieces, like table-cloths and nap
kins, without previous soaking or wet
ting, loosely into the water. DO not put
too many pieces in at time. Boil hard
for ten minutes, then rinse through two
waters and hang out to dry. Put more
pieces in the same boiler. Examine the
articles of clothing after they are taken
out, and, if not too roughly cleansed, put
them back in the boiler for another ten
minutes, or else rub lightly.
If the washing is very large, there
should be a renewal of the soap and oil,
but for an ordinary washing once is
enough. In an hour and a half the work
is all done for family of six persons.
The clothes are white as snow, and there
is not the wear and tear of clothing by
rubbing; above all, there is not the wear
and tear of nerves"
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1887-08-24

Baking powder should always be mixed
with the flour dry.
A brush-broom is just the thing to clean
horse-radish graters and silver.
Whiting or ammonia in the water is
preferable to soap for cleaning windows
or paint.
Salt sprinkled over anything that Is
burning on the stove will prevent any
disagreeable odor.
A vegetable acid, such as lemon juice
or cider, is said to be specific for most
cases of scarlet fever.
Ebony cabinets be washed with
soft warm water and CASTLE soap, rubbed
dry and polished with flannel dipped in
linsecd oil.
Clean brasses on mahogany furniture by
rubbing with chamois-skin dipped in
either powdered whiting, or rotton-stone
mixed with sweet oil.
Never scratch the ears with anything
but the finger if they itch. Do not use
the head of pin, hairpins, pencil tips or
anything of that nature.
A lotion for frecklcs may be made of
the following good and harmless cosmet-
les: % Borax, three grains; rose water,
five drains; orange flower water, five
drains. (2) Orange flower water, one
pint; glycerine, one ounce; boroN, one
dram.
Any gold icwelry that an immersion in
water will not injurc can be beautifully
! cleaned by shaking it well in bottle
nearly half full of warm soapSuds, to
which little prepared chalk has been
added, and aftcrward rinsing in clear
cool water and wiping it dry.
A handful of salt in the water is useful
to set the colors of light cambrics and
dotted lawns; and little beefs gall Will
not only set, but brighten, yellow and
purple tints, and has good effect upon
green No soda or any washing com
pound should be used in washing delicate
colorcd goods.

DREAM ISLANDS.

They tell Of a region, long fabled in story,
Where the clouds never hide the sun and its
glory,
Where the fruits are Of gold,
And the earth, never old,
In perpetual spring ever laughs at age hoary.
OF the men who have followed the sun to its
dying,
To discover that land which still westward is
lying,
None have come from the quest
With green laurel on crest
But still west, like the breezes, our wishes go
signing.
Have they found that land with its myriad
flowers,
And there linger, enthralled its rose-coverss
bowersl
Or by lotus fringed brook
Never care for, nor look
To the east where lies home with its troubles,
its showersl
With the breath of the lotus they banish all
sorrow
And they joy in the present; no trouble they
borrow;
Does the sky's brightest blue
Or the fragrance of dew
Augur anght, in those isles, but the gladdest
tomorrow!

"There is a curious island in McKay's
harbor on the north shore of Lake
Superior" said Captain johnson of the

Flower-pot, and is a giant rock rising

with moss, which partially hides the

Fatigue of the Eye by Certain Colors.

II has been laid down by NJ. Chevreul
that the human eye cannot be long en-
ploycd in the perception of a given color
without tending to become insensible
and to arouse an impression similar to
that ordinarily produced by the percep-
ton Of white light. DIR. Bcclard has also
noticed that when the eye is directed for
time upon a colored field, the other eye
being closed, if the eye which was open
is in turn closed and the other opened, a
specter If the complimentary color will
be perceived; thus, if the right has OBJ
served a red disk. the left being shut, a
reversal of the state of things would re-
suit in the perception Of a green disk by
the freshly opened left eye. lnyirtue OF
the same property of the eye, when two
tints are placed beside each other, the
nearest edge of the one will appear as
though deprived Of all the colored rays
which it may have in common with the
other. An analogous effect is produced
with grays non-colored, that is to say,
formed simply Of white and black.

The PngnaciOus Crab.

From the beginning of his life, or at
least very soon after his introduction to
the watery world, the crab is addicted to
warfare, and though by no means averse
to obtaining food without fighting, is al
ways ready for fray. The younger
members of the race, after being them
selves in the mud near the waters edge,
and thus hid, await the species of Il land
crab known to fame as tiddlers, who
periodically go down to the water TO
drink, and it is rarely the case that one
of his humble cousins fails to fall vic
tim to the bold bushwacker's appetite as
he sallies out from his hiding place with
the ferocity of a tiger, Internecine war
fare is also common, since the crabs
cannibalistic propensities are very strong
and his pugnacity well developed; but,
unless there is great disproportion in the
size of the antagonists, these combats are
rarely fatal, though they may cost the
duellists a limb or two. O.--Neio orleans

Writing a Muscular Exercise.

An Albany physician has made a
singular discovery. He says he has no.
ticed failing in the muscular power of
many business men, and on inquiry found
that they had been using typewriters or
stenographers instead of writing their
own letters. This, strange as it may APP
pear, has deprived, the physician says,
business men of little very desirable
muscular exercise of the right arm, and
has TO some extent affected their general
health. The observation of the physician
seems to have been very extraordinarily
acute. .-ABaRy Journal.

as though it ought to be easy to make an
